The city isn't what it used to be. Dispatch photographer Doral Chenoweth III set out to capture images of Columbus landmarks and compared them to historic photographs.

Columbus Then & Now

Downtown from the air

This aerial photo shows the Downtown skyline and the Whittier Street peninsula as it appeared in
1956. The Lincoln-LeVeque Tower was the only tall building, and Central High School was operating
on the west side of the river.

Put your cursor on the photo to see the same scene today, with many more major buildings, a
major freeway, the new COSI on the Central High School site, and the new Scioto Audubon Metro
Park on the Whittier Street peninsula at bottom right. The updated photo was taken by
Dispatch photographer by Doral Chenoweth III.
